Victoria focuses on her fraudster fiance

SOME women with a fiance in prison would keep a low profile.

Not former Made In Chelsea star Victoria Baker-Harber, who reveals she’s making a television programme about art dealer Inigo Philbrick, serving seven years in a U.S. prison for fraud. ‘I’m doing a documentary,’ the socialite tells me at a red-carpet event in Kensington, West London.

‘It’s about my fiance and his time in prison — it’s wild.’

Philbrick is fully behind the project. ‘He’s all for it,’ she says. ‘It was his idea. We start filming in the next few weeks.’

Olympic sailor’s daughter Baker-Harber, 34, has a two-year-old daughter with Philbrick, 36.

‘He didn’t murder anyone,’ she adds. ‘He put his hands up and admitted what he did do, and takes full responsibility and accountability, but everyone makes mistakes.’

THE pomposity of certain writers has been pricked by Zadie Smith. ‘Sometimes I think we shouldn’t take political lessons from novelists, because we can be peculiar as a breed,’ the author of White Teeth says at a Night of Ideas at The Institut Francais in London. ‘I don’t have a political imagination; I have a novelist imagination. ‘I’m also aware of being peculiar when I hear people speak about the desire to belong and to be amongst their people.’ She adds: ‘That’s always going to be a problem between me and people who really believe there’s such a thing as a feminine soul or a black soul. ‘I don’t believe in these things – I believe in culture, oppression, structure situations, but not essential qualities of humans.’
